How exactly do you pronounce the q? Hindi uses the normal k sound, along with the Arabicy q, but I can't tell the difference. Anybody have any kinda recording or something? The Arabic g also. Those sounds I need to figure out.

Click where it says "Qaaf", it's in the middle of the table.
Arabic "G" (غ) is pretty much like French R. I don't know why people use "G" for it, really. xp (Click on "Ghayn" to hear it).

in class (yeah, my HS is lucky enough to teach it), the ghrain is not like a G at all. Since we study Cariro accent (the most common), the jiim ends up becoming a giim, with a hard G sound (like the word "got") instead of the the French J pronounciation (like in the name Jacques) To write the egyptian Jiim , you need to write a normal jiim, but instead with 3 dots (wish I could show, but my comp is giving me a pain writing Arabic tetx)

It's nice your school taught you more practical Arabic, I just studied Literary when I was in school. Anyhow, there are some huge differences between variations, but if you need to learn one variation, I think that the Egyptian dialect is the best choice. ^^

البارحة يـوم الخلائق نيـــامــا - بيــحـت من كثر الــبكاء كل مكنـون
قمت أتـودد له وأنثر على مـــا - من موق عين دمعها كـان مخــزون
ولي ونة من سمعها ما ينامـــا - كاني صويب بين الأضلاع مطعون
في ساعة قل الرجاء والمحاما - في وقــتها كل المخاليـــق يــقـفـــون


Yesterday, when (all) creation were asleep -
I disclosed, from much weeping, all that is concealed

I came to show my affection to [her], and scatter upon [her] water -
From the pot of an eye whose tears were reserved

And I have anguish whoever hears it does not sleep -
As if I were injured, between my ribs I am stabbed

In an hour lacking hope and security -
At its time, (all) creation stand up




EDIT: I'll post more on this later...

As salaamu alaykum BismiAllahi Ar-rahmani Ar-rahhim. It is nice to know that there are alot of people that want to learn the arabic language Insh-Allah{swt} that you all do. I'm teaching myself arabic as well and i love it. I don't know alot cause i'm still learning but if i could be of some help to another insha-Allah{swt} i will do my best to help or find the information that can help you. As well it would be nice if someone that speaks arabic could give me a helping hand that will be great as well. So untill then insh-Allah{swt} that we are all bless to learn arabic . Wa alaykum salaam to all my ahki's and uhktii.

Isn't a'slam alaykum used exclusively for Muslims...?

Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you'd just say maHaba(n) and ma' slaama...

I believe the religious connotation is there, but that it isn't too unusual for non-Muslims to use it. Then again, I could be wrong.

Hrm, my teacher said that to a non-Muslim by accident (y'know, thinking she was Muslim) and she jsut said, "luh."

I'm fairly new to Arabic and I was wondering if there are any certain books or programs that anyone recommends. I don't have access to an actual teacher so I'm gonna try to teach myself as much as I can.

Thank you very much for any help.
